Hello everybody!

I have a small problem with compiling Lotus C API programs.
The program which I have compiled was written by me 9 years ago for Lotus Notes/Domino version 5/6 and successfully compiled with Microsoft Visual Studio version 6.
Now I need to compile it one more time for Lotus Domino 8.5
I've installed MS Visual Studio 2008 (I didn't find old version), converted my project to Version 9 and got and error that my type of OS isn't supported (Win32). The error in global.h file asked me to write a type of OS in a command line. But I don't know how to do that. I've corrected the global.h file and included win32 platform in it and got a lot of another errors :-)
After that I've tried to change platform in my project from Win32 to NT. It's been unsuccessful also.
After that I've read the User Guide.
It's written that I need Vusual Studio 2003 insted 2008. But I've decided not to pay attention to that minor fact and I've done all activites with environment variables. I've done a command with mmake.exe file and got an error about ntwin32.mak file. I've found it in two directoriea - Microsoft SDK 5.0 and 6.0A. One by one I've included that directories in the Include variable and it was unsuccsessful again.
I'm at a deadlock and don't know how to get on with that problem

Could anybody give me some advice?
